Because of Qi Younian, the Beiman proposed a peace talk. The biggest project that did not allow the Beiman to take any advantage in the peace talks was Han Kerang. Master Ji Er told Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen that he also realized that Han Kerang had a very good eloquence during the peace talks.

The main reason why Han Kerang was selected as the deputy envoy of the mission was that he was familiar with the language of the Northern Barbarians.

He was not only familiar with the language of the Northern Barbarians. It turned out that Han Kerr was knowledgeable and knowledgeable. He not only mastered several languages ​​of foreign countries, but also knew the customs and customs of these foreign countries very well.

When he was wronged and was left to be an official in the court, he was actually a little depressed. Because of Qi Younian, Han Ke asked Chang to come to Xinhuatang to become a very good friend of Master Ji Er, and was attracted by Master Ji Er as his confidant.

After Mr. Ji San returned from overseas, Han Kerang once expressed that he hoped to go out to sea with Mr. Ji San next time, as the official of the court, or simply resign and refuse to do so, and also follow Mr. Ji San to see the customs and customs overseas with his own eyes.

It was also at that time that Han Ke Rang told Master Ji San that he could speak several foreign languages.

Ji Xiaotang naturally knew about this and remembered it in his heart. When the court selected the envoys for negotiations with the Northern Barbarians, Ji Xiaotang discussed with Qin Zhen and secretly planned to let Han Kerang be the deputy envoy.

Han Kejang really fulfilled his mission.

"I've seen it," Qin Zhen said with a smile, and told Ji Xiaotang again, "He said he was going to kowtow to you, but he was back from a long journey. I'm afraid he's a little disrespectful. He went home to clean up and will bring his wife to our mansion tomorrow."

"That's great." Ji Xiaotang smiled.

"This peace talks have made the most contribution. In terms of merit, I should be able to be promoted this time." Master Ji Er asked Qin Zhen.

Qin Zhen pondered for a while and sighed softly.

Master Ji Er understood immediately.

Although the peace talks were successful, Empress Dowager Han’s only daughter wanted to marry the Northern Barbarians. How could Empress Dowager Han really want to reward the people in the mission? Not only that, I’m afraid Empress Dowager Han will also be suspicious that the matter of Changning’s marriage is inseparable from the people in the mission.

"What a pity." Master Ji Er sighed, and then thought of a deeper layer. A look of worry appeared on his face, "We speak to the Northern Barbarian envoys, and we use a general translation. Only if it is not true, he can speak directly to the Northern Barbarian envoys. If the Empress Dowager wants to doubt, the first one will doubt Han Kerang."

Moreover, Empress Dowager Han was guilty of being a thief and inevitably became suspicious. Han Kerang knew the entirety of the fraud case that year, so he held a grudge against her.

Ji Xiaotang and Qin Zhen both believed that Master Ji's worries were not groundless.

Han Kejie will not only not be promoted this time, but may also be worn by Empress Dowager Han.

"Although the Empress Dowager is still powerful, she is not so easy to deal with someone as she did in the past. I will take care of him." Qin Zhen said.

Qin Zhen was not talking about trying his best to take care of Han Kerang, but about saying that he would take care of Han Kerang.

Master Ji Er understood that Qin Zhen said this, so he was confident that he could ensure Han Ke and make peace.

"Then, I will thank you for the prince first." Master Ji Er stood up and saluted Qin Zhen very seriously.

Qin Zhen also stood up quickly and said that he did not dare to accept the courtesy of Master Ji Er.

"This is just my duty."

Several people discussed the current situation of Zhenshanguan and the Northern Barbarians. If there were no special accidents, there would be no war between the Qin Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians in the next one or two years.

However, this will not be static.⊥. Once the balanced situation is broken, there will be another conflict between the Qin Dynasty and the Northern Barbarians.

"I hope that by that time, Ayou is ready and can beat Beiman back hard!"

Everyone nodded.

A year later, Qi Younian's military farming should be effective. If the drought in the Qin Dynasty can be alleviated, even if it develops with the Northern Barbarians, the chance of the Qin Dynasty's victory will be greatly increased.

This peace talks are also to get the opportunity to recuperate in the past or two years.

...

The Northern Barbarians did not stay in the capital for long, and then returned in a hurry. Although they did not gain any advantage in the peace talks, they were able to marry the biological daughter of Empress Dowager Han, the only princess of Daqin, which is now the only princess. They have already felt very honored.

Changning's dowry made the Northern Barbarians very satisfied, and it could even be said to be overjoyed.

Empress Dowager Han spared almost no effort when marrying her daughter, as if she wanted to compensate her for her guilt towards Changning on the dowry.

Ji Xiaotang has never entered the palace since he met Changning in the Cining Palace. Naturally, she never saw Changning again. The last time she and Changning set off when the Northern Barbarians delegation, Changning was wearing a red wedding dress, kowtowed to Queen Mother Han and bid farewell to everyone.

Changning was a little thin, his eyes were dark and without any brilliance.

Empress Dowager Han shed tears, but the corners of Changning's eyes were dry. She didn't cry at all. When she said goodbye to Empress Dowager Han, she seemed to be a wooden man, and her every move seemed to have been practiced in advance.

Only when he arrived in front of Ji Xiaotang did Changning's eyes show a little vitality.

"I will come back." Changning told Ji Xiaotang.

Changning only said this and did not tell Ji Xiaotang how she planned to come back. Ji Xiaotang was a little surprised. Although Changning's appearance had not changed much, it gave her a feeling that she had changed.

Changning is no longer the Changning who was on the verge of collapse and was despair a few days ago. In these days, Changning should have found the spiritual pillar to continue to live well.

Are you still expecting to arrive at Zhenshan Pass that Qi Younian will stop the Northern Barbarians' mission and keep her?

Ji Xiaotang's vague feeling should not be the case.

Changning...

Ji Xiaotang hopes that there will be no news about Changning again, because it must be not very good news. Of course, Ji Xiaotang doesn't know at this time. Her premonition is very accurate, but she still doesn't think about the situation seriously enough.

It was already mid-February after the Northern Barbarians left.

Ji Xiaotang got up in the morning and was walking in the garden.

After a truce with the Northern Barbarians, the people thought that they would be safe forever from now on. At this moment, the capital seemed to be shrouded in a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

Ji Xiaotang enjoyed this atmosphere very much. She even felt that the north wind was no longer so dry and cold. She felt it carefully, and there seemed to be a hint of water in the air.

This is the initial sign that the drought is about to improve. This year, the famine in Daqin will be significantly alleviated. If there are no external troubles, Daqin can take this opportunity to recover from his anger.

Although the Northern Barbarians temporarily calmed down in her previous life, there were thieves everywhere in the Qin Dynasty, like wildfires that could not be extinguished. Even if the people wanted to resume production, they could not.

Now, the territory of Daqin has almost been completely pacified, and even a small group of thieves is not a good place.?◆?    ▲

If the Qin Dynasty can recover from its anger, many people can survive the death of the people.

Ji Xiaotang closed her eyes slightly to calm her world down. She liked to think like this. The people who served her around her knew her habit and would not come to disturb her.

I don’t know how long it took, but Ji Xiaotang suddenly felt that the air around him seemed to have changed slightly.

That was the aura she was already very familiar with now.

"Prince." Ji Xiaotang called out softly before slowly opening his eyes.

Standing close to Ji Xiaotang, it was indeed Qin Zhen.

"What? Or did you still alarm?" Qin Zhen asked with a smile.

As soon as he finished handling government affairs, he went to Xichuntang to find Ji Xiaotang, and then he realized that Ji Xiaotang had arrived in the garden. He then rushed over and saw Ji Xiaotang thinking about it.

Qin Zhen naturally would not disturb Ji Xiaotang. But he didn't want to leave just now. After looking at it for a while, he walked closer without realizing it.

Although he had tried his best to lighten his pace and even controlled his breath, Ji Xiaotang was caught by him as soon as he arrived by Ji Xiaotang.

"No, the prince is here just right." Ji Xiaotang smiled.

The two of them walked slowly in the garden. Qin Zhen chose the government affairs of the royal palace to talk to Ji Xiaotang.

This has become his habit. Although Ji Xiaotang is not very concerned, Qin Zhen is used to telling Ji Xiaotang about everything about the royal palace. Of course, it is not just about the royal palace affairs, but also Qin Zhen never conceals Ji Xiaotang in the court affairs.

Qin Zhen is willing to say it, and Ji Xiaotang is willing to listen carefully.

"Is the decree of the Hunan Provincial Administration Commissioner? Is it the Empress Dowager?" Ji Xiaotang asked suddenly.

"Yes."

"It seems that the Queen Mother is completely fine." Ji Xiaotang said almost as if he was talking to himself.

After Changning left with the Northern Barbarians' mission, Empress Dowager Han was sick. The disease came in full force. Ji Xiaotang learned that Empress Dowager Han paid great attention to health and had always been very healthy. This disease was the worst time that Empress Dowager Han had in recent years.

The imperial physicians' diagnosis was that they were occasionally infected with wind and cold.

However, everyone knows that the main reason why Empress Dowager Han was sick was because of the blow from Changning's marriage.

"It's not completely good." Qin Zhen told Ji Xiaotang, "It's just that she can't bear to have the authority in her hands."

Before Empress Dowager Han's illness was cured, she violated the instructions of the imperial physicians and started reading the memorials again and dealing with the government affairs.

"Prince, let's go to the palace to visit the queen mother today." Ji Xiaotang lowered his head slightly, thought for a while, then raised his head and said to Qin Zhen.

"Xiaotang..." Qin Zhen asked inquiry.

Ji Xiaotang knew what Qin Zhen was asking, so he nodded.

If Empress Dowager Han can be the director, he will definitely take revenge immediately. Ji Xiaotang wants to enter the palace and explore Empress Dowager Han's tone and prepare for the future.

"Your Majesty sent me another errand today, I'm afraid I can't go with you." Qin Zhen was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay if I go by myself. If I am alone, the Empress Dowager is not so prepared." Ji Xiaotang said.

Qin Zhen nodded and agreed.

...

Ji Xiaotang came to Cining Palace and waited for a while before being led into Queen Mother Han's bedroom by the palace servants.

This was the first time Ji Xiaotang entered the Empress Dowager Han’s bedroom, and he couldn’t help but look around. After seeing this, he saw an acquaintance.

Yang Pianpian has long become the palace maid whom Empress Dowager Han serves personally, and now he can even serve at night beside Empress Dowager Han.

Ji Xiaotang glanced at Yang Pianpian and immediately withdrew his gaze. Yang Pianpian stood with his hands down and did not look up at Ji Xiaotang. This is the rule of serving people in the palace.

No matter from any perspective, Yang Pianpian is already a fully competent palace maid.

Ji Xiaotang felt a little moved and walked to Empress Dowager Han's couch.
